Docker and Kubernetes: Building and Scaling a Containerized Application Training Course
Docker is an open-source platform for automating the process of building, shipping and running applications inside containers. Kubernetes goes one step further by providing the tools needed to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale in a clustered environment.
In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to create and manage Docker containers, then deploy a sample application inside a container. Participants will also learn how to automate, scale, and manage their containerized applications within a Kubernetes cluster. Finally, the training goes on to more advanced topics, walking participants through the process of securing, scaling and monitoring a Kubernetes cluster.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Set up and run a Docker container.
- Deploy a containerized server and web application.
- Build and manage Docker images.
- Set up a Docker and Kubernetes cluster.
- Use Kubernetes to deploy and manage a clustered web application.
- Secure, scale and monitor a Kubernetes cluster.
Format of the course
- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
Note:
- Apache Tomcat and a Java EE application will be used as our demo servers and applications for containerization. However, *these are subject to change*. If you would like to see a specific application or related tool or technique covered in this training, please contact us to arrange.
